Redemption

Chapter 19

Shanice POV

Within 10 hours I was in New Jersey, Adrian had been staying at a motel, he had been sweating and was anxious as hell. I sat behind him and rubbed his back, his face was in the palm of his hands, he felt like he had failed everybody. "I just wanna be done with all of this, I don't know why I decided to get back in the game" he exclaimed "It's ok, we gonna be out of all this in no time, I love you, and all this aint for nothing." I then kissed his ear, he then looked at me, and turned me over onto the bed, he then got on top of me, and kissed me.

"If I don't make it back" he slid my panties off and spread my legs. "remember this." His warm tongue had a way of speaking to my clit in ways this man could only express in words that didn't have to spoken, I felt his love when he massaged my clit with his tongue, and I wrapped my legs around his head tight. His tongue was so most and was becoming apart of me, when he slide his tongue inside of me, he pushed my legs back and rolled his tongue from my clit to my ass, nibbling on my cheeks, and finding his way back home to my lips, and sucked on them so hard, I gasped, He gripped on my thighs, and sucked on my clit hard. I felt myself dripping and he licked up whatever was coming out, I bit my bottom lip, and my grip around his neck tighten. He got on his knees between my legs and unbuttoned his boxers, I looked at his man hood and I knew I had been on his mind for so long. He held my legs all the way back, and insert inside of me, he stroked a bit fast, and then slowed down, we were looking into each other eyes, breathing with each other, seeing who was going to bust first. I had my hands on his shoulders, "ahh A I know you wanna nut in me." I teased, while looking at him, he thrusted harder, and I was coming at my peak, I could feel it in my stomach. "Aha you tryna trick me cutie, I love you." He then came, and I came too. This was a short session for him, but I knew he had a lot on his mind, I rolled on top of him and he grabbed my ass, I kissed his lips, I had this grudging feeling that this was our end of the road.

We had got dressed and ready, we threw the money in the trunk of the car, on the radio they talked about a robbery gone wrong in Newark. "Fuck I aint think this shit would be on the news, I don't care what you do, get the hell out of Maryland aight, when we get back!" I nodded my head, and then I got a call from Patrice.

"Hey."

"YOU BITCH! I'M TELLING THE COPS! ADRIAN SET MY MAN UP!"

"Yo- who that?" Adrian asked, I guess he could hear her

"It's nothing babe, just Patrice."

"NO FUCK THAT, IT'S SOMETHING YOUR NIGGA A BITCH!"

Then something clicked, this man, who provided, took care of his son the best way he could, and loved me in tears, drunk, funk, and laid down his life for me, she wasn't going to sit up here and disrespect my man.

"BITCH WATCH WHO THE FUCK YOU TALKIN TO, DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU GOTTA DO." I yelled, I then hung the phone up. Adrian than looked at me and chuckled, "damn baby, aha you got a nigga back." He then rubbed my thigh "It's ok, I know what happened, the nigga wanted me to leave so I did, it wasn't a bitch move, but that's what happens, he gave his life to the game."

Adrian POV

We got back to Baltimore, and Shanice was in a rush to get everything packed into the car, I gave her all the 30 million she was to take it to Hati with Hezekiah. 3 days had passed, and she was gone, it was Easter Sunday. I told Reggie I was meet him at the church, so I did. I dressed in a black suit, and a purple dress shirt under it, I also had a bullet proof vest on. I met with Reggie at the church at it was loud, the usher had on white, and she was passing out a brochure to tell us how the event was going to play out at church.

"Hey man glad you made it." Reggie said while dapping me up, I hugged his daughter and the entire congregation sat down. Pastor Joyce was at the pulpit, she was dressed in white and was a smaller older lady, she had red lipstick and her hair was in curls falling down pass her shoulders.

In the middle of her sermon something stuck with me, that stuck with me as a child

"God is the redeemer, on this very day death couldn't hold him, he rose up for all of our sins, yet most of us in here to day is still in our death, let the flesh die, and let God lift you, he wanna do something great in your life, he wants to redeem you for your sins, for he loves you, he made your end before your beginning, and for this accept atonement for your wrongdoings, for in Ephesians it reads in him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of Gods grace."

I was done being a push over, I watched my father die in my face, I watched my mother hung over on drugs, I was going to do things my way. I approached my nigga rando, I was 12 years old, he was talking to a taller man his name was dex, I overheard their conversation before I approached them.

"Ya man, nigga shot that little boys family."

"That's crazy, lil nigga gone raise up and kill that muthafucka."

"And Lucky did this shit?"

"Ya man, he told me, shot the nigga dead, his own partner, shit crazy, all over a 100 stacks." I then walked up to them, and they shook their head

"Yo Rando, I need work."

"Little nigga, get the fuck outta here, I aint givin you no work, aint you seen enough death."

"Ha." Dex interjected "Well I'll see yall later, be cool lil man." He then rubbed my head and walked off.

Tears ran down my eyes, I didn't realize I had been standing at the altar, a rush of anxiety ran over me, and I was on my knees. I had seen everything, I had felt everything, in this moment, "God loves you sweetheart, and never forget that, raise your hands and accept Christ." I then rose my hands, and that day accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior.

Service was over, me and Reggie was outside catching up on what had happened in New Jersey. "Man, I'm happy you good, well me and my daughter gone go to Hati with Shanice and Hezekiah to make sure they good, I'll see you there." "Aight man, just let me get a few things, and in a couple of days I'll meet yall there." Him and his daughter then walked off, I was on my way to my car when I heard my name. "Yo A." yelled Paul, I turned around and he was on crutches with a gun pointed at me. Church ladies was yelling, and I put my hands in my pockets, I was facing death, "Ha, thought you was finna get away wit all that paper."

"What you wanna do this for? You told me to go."

"Fuck you nigga, I work for Lucky now, aint shit ever get to you?? I was working for Lucky, telling him shit so he would know, but ever since you got wit that dumb bitch you been different, I aint ever like Shanice, then you pay me like I'm your bitch, nah fuck that."

"Man it aint-"

"Shut the fuck you bitch you've said enough, figured I'd find you here, Lucky told me heard you and Reggie on the phone, Patrice bailed me out, but aint no use in tellin you good news, you a dead nigga, cops even lookin for that ass I told em everything." I looked over and Lucky was in a rose Royce, he rolled his window down and took a pull from his cigar.

2 shots rung off, but I didn't see Paul pull the trigger, I turned around and It was Reggie with a 45, I felt the blood run down my neck, warm, I was coughing up blood, he shot me in the back of my head, I felt the pain I wasn't dead yet. He stepped over me and put the gun in his jacket.

"It's just business man, just business."
